Lara Herway’s Sunnybrook Strategies had a broad paid Idaho campaign footprint before Hometown Heroes

Idaho Sunshine’s archived free-text vendor search for “Sunnybrook Strategies” reports that 17 candidates and three PACs spent $150,653 across three Sunnybrook name variants. The disclosed clients include Brad Little, Chenele Dixon, Jim Woodward, Julie Yamamoto, Jeff Agenbroad, Jack Nelsen, Stephanie Mickelsen, Gregory Lanting, Mark Sauter, Treg Bernt, Lori Bishop, Rodney Furniss, Joshua Wheeler, Jerald Raymond, Van Burtenshaw, Michael Pohanka and others, plus North Idaho Republicans PAC, Citizens for CdA Public Schools, and Citizens to Elect Qualified & Experienced Candidates. The archive shows Brad Little’s 2022 campaign paid Sunnybrook four operations payments totaling $7,500 (January 26, March 9, May 5 and May 9, 2022). It shows Chenele Dixon’s campaign paid eight recurring management/events payments totaling $9,400 from April through November 2023. Risch Pisca identifies Lara Herway as Sunnybrook’s founder and a political consultant, while Idaho Sunshine identifies Herway as Hometown Heroes’ chair and treasurer. Supported conclusion: Hometown Heroes’ formal controller entered the PAC role with an already extensive, paid campaign-services network that directly included Governor Little and multiple legislators relevant to the broader IdahoCabal map. Evidence firewall: vendor payments establish paid campaign work, not that those clients directed Hometown Heroes, shared Hometown’s strategy, or coordinated independent expenditures. The archive’s aggregate is a free-text result spanning three vendor-name variants and should not be treated as a single legal-entity determination without separate vendor normalization.
